As befits its Italian name ‘Mozzafiato’, which loosely translates into ‘breath-taking’, this gorgeous 3-bedroom holiday retreat makes the most of its elevated location on the Menaggio hills and boasts superior lake views from its sunny, spacious private terrace.
Inside, the modern 1st floor retreat boasts a functional, well-equipped layout; perfect for relaxation and entertaining. To the principal floor, guests can kick back and relax within the generous open plan lake view living room with dining area and adjoining separate kitchen.
Guests can enjoy unwinding on the sumptuous sofa, which is accompanied by a 65” smart flat screen SAT TV with 100+ Sky channels (including Sport, news and movies) and a Blu-ray DVD player. Two CD stereo and iPod speakers allow guests to set the mood for effortless entertaining, whilst free in-house WiFi lets guests keep in touch with loved ones whilst away.
A dedicated reading/study area also features next to the living room. Within the open plan living room, the accompanying dining area also enjoys lake views and provides a wonderful setting for serving up year-round family feasts.
French doors enable groups to spill out onto the breath-taking panoramic lake view terrace, which offers a charming alfresco dining set and is easily the ‘wow-factor’ feature of this apartment. The spectacular vista stretches out across the Central Lake and encompasses Menaggio centre and the picturesque resort town of Varenna, which is nestled along the unspoilt eastern shore.
Those looking to savour an easy-going self-catering stay will find the separate adjoining kitchen equipped with a microwave, oven, cooker hob, electric kettle, coffee machine, toaster, two wine fridges and a fridge freezer.
The sleeping accommodation offers welcome versatility for groups and families. A light and airy lake view master double bedroom with Juliette balcony and newly-fitted en-suite shower features alongside a second pleasant double bedroom and a child-friendly third bedroom to the rear of the holiday home, which is furnished with a set of bunk beds, a single pull-out bed and two study desks. The bedroom also leads outside to a communal rear lawn. For added flexibility, a double sofa bed is also provided within the living room.
Accompanying the bedrooms is a second newly fitted family bathroom suite with bath tub, overhead shower, wash basin, WC and washer dryer.
Outside, the spacious sunny panoramic lake view terrace is furnished with a set of sun loungers.
From the residence, central Menaggio and its lakeshore is within a 4 minutes’ walk away, via a series of pedestrianised paths reached by crossing 2 roads.
Pretty Menaggio centre boats a fantastic array of resort-friendly amenities, including authentic Italian restaurants, charming cafes, grocery shops, gift shops, a fabulous family-friendly Lido, a car-passenger ferry service and frequent bus links which operate along the entire western shore and to Como city and Lugano, via

Our visit to Menaggio was breathtaking. We arrived at Bella Menaggio Terrazzo, and was pleased with the apartment, it looked as it does on the website. The views are stunning, and well worth the walk up the hill. We arrived with 3 motorcycles and the space allocated to us was ample, and covered and most importantly, it was secure. Menaggio is a lovely place and we didn't have any favourite places to eat, they were all good. A trip on the lake is a must to visit over places and the Lido is worth a visit too.
I would definitely recommend the place and staff at Happy Homes were efficient and really helpful.

Enjoyed our stay. View from balcony was amazing. Bed in Master bedroom was great. Kitchen was good and well equipped. Glad there were ice cube trays in freezer. The condo was spacious. Wifi worked well. Very happy. Staff in your office were great.
The drive to Lake Lugano was nice, also the drive to Mont Bre.
Really enjoyed the Menaggio Water Taxi that took us on the All Villas Tour.
Thanks for a great Holiday!

My husband, myself, daughter and her 2 young children stayed for 2 weeks in this wonderful apartment and would return in a heart beat! The apartment is large, comfortable and has an outstanding view of the lake and mountains. It is minutes from town center and the ferries. WE LOVED IT!!!

Thanks for a wonderful Bella Menaggio Terrazzo, we had a great time.
The space and terrace and view were fantastic.
Picking up and dropping the keys was very easy. The information you gave was very helpful.
The only issue was fans, which were given when we asked.
We will definitely be back again.
